Baby, all these cities ain’t they all starting to look all the same
Baby, all these colors and the cars and the kids and the rain
I mean, baby. All these cities. Ain’t they all starting to look all the same
Hear me, Alabama, I was never meant to carry no shame
Hear me, Alabama, I was never meant to carry no shame
Ah but hear me, Alabama, I can hear you when you’re calling my name
If I’m talking to you, mister then you’d best be writing down what I say
And if you’re talking to me like that, man you had best be quickly walking away
I ain’t came to stand here for none of this bullshit, man I came here to play
Hear me, Alabama, I was never meant to carry no shame
Hear me, Alabama, I was never meant to carry no shame
Ah but hear me, Alabama, I can hear you when you’re calling my name
Baby, all these cities ain’t they all starting to look all the same
Baby, all these colors and the cars and the kids and the rain
I mean, baby all these cities ain’t they all starting to look all the same
I mean, baby all these cities ain’t they all starting to look all the same
I mean, baby all these cities ain’t they all starting to look all the same
I mean, baby all these cities ain’t they all starting to look all the same
Well, apart from the things I touched
Nothing got broke all that much
And apart from the things I took
Nothing got stolen babe, and look
You can love me foolishly,
Love me foolish-like
Well I wake in the morning and dress
Hang a charm of gold around my neck
And I sip from my silver cup
And I sing these words for good luck
I sing, “Love me foolishly,
Love me foolish-like”
Well I wake in the morning and I dress
I hang that charm of gold around my neck
And I haul to her window and I look
And I crawl on inside and wake her up
Singing, “Love me foolishly,
Love me foolish-like”
So, apart from the things I touched
Nothing got broke all that much
And apart from the things I took
Nothing got stolen babe, and look:
You can love me foolishly
Love me foolish-like
I know I’m back with just a song
And I been gone so awful long
But babe you know there ain’t nothing wrong
And you know
I’ll be here soon
The road is long and the road does wind
I’m bound to leave some parts behind
But don’t you pay that any mind
Cause you know
I’ll be here soon
So lay your ass out on the floor
And raise your glass and raise it more
And praise and laugh and praise some more
And you know
We’ll be here soon
Now dry your eyes in the setting sun
I know the pressure’s on and ain’t nothin fun
And babe I know it’s all been done
But you know
It ain’t all done too
So get yourself and bring her here
And fix yourself up in the mirror
We’ll fix ourselves another beer
And you know
We’ll be here soon
So lay your ass out on the floor
We’ll raise our glass and then raise it more
We’ll praise and laugh and then praise some more
And we will know.
We will be here soon
In New York this morning
It was 8am LA time
And I could be there by this evening
Said the girl on the airline line
So I bought that ticket
And I got in that cab
But I didn’t make it babe
To the airport like that
No I wound up walkin
Out by the ocean today
And there were naked women dancing
In the Mermaid Parade
O Amanda did you see me today
Watchin those women dancing
In the Mermaid Parade
O Amanda were you with me today
Watchin those women waltz by
In the Mermaid Parade
Now our hearts were on fire
Only two weeks ago
And our bodies were like live wires
Down on the beach in Mexico
But I came back to this city
And you stayed home in LA
And our two years of marriage
In two short weeks somehow just slipped away
And I know all about your new man
Your new older, old man
And I heard that he’s married
O you be careful Amanda
And yeah I got a new friend too
And yeah she’s pretty and small
But god damn it Amanda
Ah god damn it all
O I went out walkin
Out by the ocean today
And there were naked women dancing
In the Mermaid Parade
O Amanda did you see me today
Watchin those women dancing
In the Mermaid Parade
And O Amanda were you with me today
Watching those women waltz by
In the Mermaid Parade
And O Amanda were you with me today, no
Watching those women waltz by
In the Mermaid Parade
I don’t care if you like me, I don’t care if you don’t
I don’t care if you fight me, I don’t care if you won’t
I don’t care if there’s lightning, I don’t care if there’s smoke
I don’t care if it’s frightening, I don’t care if it’s jokes
I don’t care if it’s tomorrow, I don’t care if it’s at all
I don’t care if it’s forbidden, I don’t care if it’s the law
No, no, no I don’t
I don’t care if it’s Darryl, I don’t care if it’s Steve
I don’t care if it’s Carol, I don’t care if it’s Eve
I don’t care if it’s barrels, I don’t care if it’s sleeves
I don’t care if it’s feral, I don’t care if it’s sitting on my knees
I don’t care if it’s tomorrow, I don’t care if it’s at all
I don’t care if it’s forbidden, I don’t care if it’s the law
No, no, no I don’t
I don’t care if there’s mercy, I don’t care if there’s none
I don’t care if it hurts me, I don’t care if it’s fun
I don’t care if it’s first thing, or if it’s altogether shunned
I don’t care if there’s cursing, I don’t care if there’s come
I don’t care if it’s tomorrow, I don’t care if it’s at all
I don’t care if it’s forbidden, I don’t care if it’s the law
No, no, no I don’t
Tell me baby have you had enough
I know sometimes I play too rough
I know sometimes it can be too much
But tell me baby have you had enough
And tell me honey have I gone too far
I know I spend most of my life in these bars
Just bangin around on this old guitar
But tell me honey have I gone too far
And tell me baby did I go too far
I know I’ve spent most of my life in these bars
And I know honey it can be so hard
But tell me baby did I go too far
And tell me baby have you had enough
I know that sometimes I can play too rough
And I know that sometimes I can be too much
But tell me baby have you had enough
Tell me baby have you had enough
Tell me baby have you had enough
Tell me baby have you had enough
Hey
I
Am
Light
O I wish I was in heaven, sittin down
I wish the road we were taking
Wasn’t made for breaking down
I wish those nights of pleasure
And those days of pain
Weren’t so tightly bound
And I wish I was in heaven, sittin down
They done kept me out here on this road so long
My babe back home she finally said, “So long”
I try to call her on some foreign telephone
But she is not around
And I wish I was in heaven, sittin down
O I wish I was in heaven, sittin down
I wish the road we were taking
Wasn’t made for breaking down
I wish those nights of pleasure
And those days of pain
Weren’t so tightly bound
And I wish I was in heaven, sittin down
I been out here so long baby my back and my shoulders are tired
And my mind, though sound, has found itself so wired
But the wheels on this old thing
They keep turning around and around
And I wish I was in heaven, sittin down
O I wish I was in heaven, sittin down
I wish the road we were taking
Wasn’t made for breaking down
I wish these nights of pleasure
And those days of pain
Weren’t so tightly bound
And I wish I was in heaven, sittin down
O I wish I was in heaven, sittin down
The road is alive and everybody’s all here
And I’m closing my eyes until the colors appear
And oh me, oh my, ain’t it funny up here
To stand in the light
Saying “I ain’t came to Los Angeles,
Just to die”
Ah you’re getting a lot of attention now
Ah you’re bleeding in every direction now
Ah they’re covering you up with affection now
Ah you’re getting a lot of attention now
They told me my eyes would never be clear
To hold on to mine and make that money out here
They told me those lies, just a-grinning from ear to ear
They showed me that line
They said, “Here is our offer,
Aint it fine”
Ah you’re getting a lot of attention now
Ah you’re bleeding in every direction now
Ah they’re covering you up with affection now
Ah you’re getting a lot of attention now
The road is alive with all the trouble and fear
And frozen and blind is how they couple out here
And oh me, oh my, they called me colored and queer
But I looked in their eyes
Said “I ain’t came to Los Angeles, babe
Just to die”
Ah you’re getting a lot of attention ain’t you now
Ah you’re bleeding in every direction ain’t you now
Ah they covering your heart with affection ain’t they now
Ah you’re getting a lot of attention ain’t you now
